One of the easiest ways to save money is by comparing prices on hotel booking platforms. Websites like Agoda, Booking.com, Expedia, and Skyscanner allow you to view multiple options side-by-side.

• Use filters to narrow down your search based on budget, amenities, and location.

• Many platforms, like Google Hotels, offer tools to track price trends, ensuring you book at the lowest point.

Pro Tip: After finding a deal on a third-party site, check the hotel’s direct website for price-matching policies. Sometimes, you’ll find even better perks, like free breakfast or flexible cancellation options, when booking directly.

Take Advantage of Off-Peak Seasons

The timing of your trip plays a huge role in hotel pricing.

Why Off-Peak Matters

Hotels typically lower their rates during less busy travel periods to attract more bookings.

• For example, visiting tropical destinations like the Caribbean in the summer (off-peak season) can save you up to 50% compared to the winter months.

• Ski resorts, on the other hand, are cheaper during summer or spring months when slopes are out of season.

How to Identify Off-Peak Periods

• Use tools like Skyscanner’s Travel Calendar to identify affordable travel dates.

• Research specific destinations to understand their high and low seasons.
